Add a Mural to Your Building

Got a wall you want a mural on?

In 2025 The Essex County Land Bank, in partnership with the North Country Rural Development Coalition (NRDC), will work with the community to install murals in the Town of Ticonderoga. This Mural Festival initiative aims to transform spaces near blighted, vacant, and abandoned properties through public art installations. This new public art will foster community pride and encourage economic revitalization. The project will focus on the creation of five murals in the downtown corridor, accompanied by a community festival.
